ISLAMABAD: The Potha Interchange, which would link the Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Motorway with the Hazara Motorway, has been given the federal government’s approval for Rs. 2 billion.
According to sources, former MNA Captain (r) Safdar revealed that the prime minister had approved spending Rs. 2 billion to build the Potha Interchange for the Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Motorway Project, which was already approved to connect Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Furthermore, despite being distant from the Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Motorway, he claimed that the Badra Interchange connected the Hazara Motorway with the Karakoram Highway and Mansehra city.
He stated that the development of the Potha Interchange would shorten the distance that inhabitants of Mansehra city and its suburbs had to travel to access the Hazara Motorway from the Qalandarabad Interchange.
The former MNA also claimed that the Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Motorway, one of the massive construction initiatives authorized by the PML-N administration, would reduce the distance between KP and AJK.
According to him, the Hazara Motorway will traverse through the Bakrial region before connecting to the Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Motorway through Barari.
Additionally, he claimed that the largest grid station in Asia will also be inaugurated during the prime minister’s next visit to the district.
Safdar also lambasted the PTI administration for failing to meet the people’s aspirations for development in the region and beyond.
